Whilst this is unfortunate for Mr and Mrs Woodhouse, and I wish Mrs Woodhouse a full and speedy recovery, I don't think you can blame the Council for bad weather and the effects of it. Yes, perhaps it can be cleared, but they can't inspect every path in every part of town weekly to ensure they are clear. There is a path near us which is covered in dead leaves which have been trodden down and with all the rain it is now extremely slippery. I wound't expect the Council to come and clear that. It's just part of nature and as a result you either avoid it or take extra precaution when using it. As slack as the Council can be sometimes, I have reported a few issues relating to overgrown bushes on footpaths, dog mess around schools and broken glass in play areas and they have always been fairly quick to resolve the issues. I'm sure if this was reported as an issue they would have checked it out.

A very good common sense response.

I wonder if the groundsman emplyed by the parish council walks around the entire parish inspecting the paths, or just Blunsdon village, in order to satisfy the requirements of the selfish residents of the village?
